Description
At its simplest, this Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Soy Glaze recipe is a modern take on glazed salmon. Traditionally, a glazed fillet is baked or pan-seared. However, the air fryer version is superior for several reasons. First, the “bites” format makes this incredibly versatile. You can serve them as a protein-packed snack, an appetizer with toothpicks at a party, or as the main event on top of a bed of jasmine rice or a vibrant green salad.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prep the salmon
Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel. This helps them crisp up in the air fryer. - Make the glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. - Marinate
Toss the salmon bites in half of the glaze and let them sit for 10–15 minutes. - Preheat air fryer
Preheat to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. - Air fry salmon
Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place salmon bites in a single layer. Cook for 7–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until cooked through and slightly crispy. - Add remaining glaze
Toss the cooked salmon bites with the remaining honey soy glaze. - Garnish & serve
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with rice, salad, or as an appetizer.
